If you do have other Suns, then make sure the last 3
bytes are different
on all your machines.
I do plan on getting more. It's why I DO want to keep the first three as
the Sun standard.
Of course if you're planning to sell this machine
to somebody else, who
might use it on a network with other Suns, or if you're going to link it
to somebody else's ethernet (company, university), then you need to take
rather more care.
The machine is going to be used as a firewall at my house, so that
shouldn't be a problem. :)
